Lara – Page 5

 

Lara

 What was it about?

 

Tom (with amusement)

It's about a man who pursues and destroys androids.

Lara grimaces.

Lara

 I don’t think androids deserve that kind of attitude.

 

Tom (chuckling)

Definitely not. How is it even possible to think that way? After all, a movie was made at a time when you were considered an unsuccessful "psychedelic hallucination."

Tom and Lara complete their meal, and Lara stands up from her chair, collecting her plate along with the forks and knives. She then carries them to a small sink situated in the corner of the room.

 

Tom

It's a pity that you did not see the movie. You would have fallen in love with the hero in the movie.

 

Lara (while still washing the dishes)

In a murderer?

 

Tom (smiling satisfactorily)

Yes, yes.

The trolley, although very small and cramped, is compact and perfectly designed. Its ceiling opening is closed with a latch, and a metal ladder is attached to the ceiling with clips that allow for quick dismantling and opening of the opening to the roof of the trolley. there is a large cabinet with several drawers that are filled to the brim. Among the drawers are one or two for folded clothing, another for food, one for utensils, and another for tools. Additionally, there is a small table with two small chairs situated in the same area.

At the far end of the table, there was a television that also functioned as a computer. An outdated, unsophisticated keyboard was hanging beneath it. Positioned behind the table was a bed, roughly three-quarters the size of a double bed. Tom had already drifted off to sleep, emitting soft snores as his belly rose and fell with each breath. The room was illuminated by a single light bulb, creating deep shadows in the corners and casting a yellow-brown hue on Tom's face.

Lara gazed at Tom sleeping and then shifted her gaze to the dresser beside the bed. There, a small framed picture caught her attention. (Zoom in) In the picture, Professor Shain's face was unnervingly stern, with a Hitler-esque mustache and a small beard reminiscent of Lenin's. Lara nodded slightly with respect toward the picture.
